First Apple's own AppleFWAudio driver's causing problems with various interfaces, now they switch to a problematic firewire chipset? Jesus - WTF? Are they trying to lose audio users? The consistency of the firewire chipset is one of the things that make Macs more a more appealing choice to audio users than their off-the-shelf PC counterparts. Man, this is a bummer. Hope they don't switch the chipset on the MacPros. I'm still on a G5 - I hope this gets straightened out before I have to make the move to an IntelMac.
